* The 508 kHz timers are ideal for use for the timer interrupt, as the
* most common values of HZ divide 508 kHz nicely. We pick one of the 16
* bit timers (timer 1) since we don't need more than 16 bits of reload
* value as long as HZ >= 8.
* most common values of HZ divide 508 kHz nicely. We pick the 32 bit

* The higher clock rate of timer 4 makes it a better choice than the
* other timers for use in gettimeoffset(), while the fact that it can't
* generate interrupts means we don't have to worry about not being able
* to use this timer for something else. We also use timer 4 for keeping
* track of lost jiffies.
* other timers for use as clock source and for sched_clock(), providing
* a stable 40 bit time base.
